Dragons
She bleeds fire
Heat coursing through an open wound
Icy tears stream down her face
She's condemned for life
The blood burns her skin
Scars mark the veins on her body
She sees the stares
She hears the laughter
She breathes hate and contempt
She fears who she is
She dreams of dragons
Defending themselves with fire
She screams when she bleeds
Pain filling her soul
Frozen tears can't soothe it
Only death can bring her peace
People don't understand
What she's gone through
Nor do they care
But soon they will
She will fight back
Fire with fire
She'll burn someone else
So they can feel her pain
Life is survival
Knowledge is power
Ignorance is bliss
Pain is knowledge
Wounds will heal
Scars will fade
But she will always remember
The burn
